When should eggs be introduced into an infant's diet?

The most recent recommendation from the Academy of Pediatrics is that eggs can be given to infants when complementary foods are added to the diet. (1) The only egg ingredient used in Baby’s Only Organic®Dairy with DHA Formula is egg phospholipid (also known as egg lecithin) from egg yolk which is the source of the fatty acids DHA and ARA in the formula. However, the DHA and ARA used in Baby’s Only Organic® formula has been tested egg allergen free by a third party laboratory. If a child has a history of food allergies, consultation with the child’s healthcare provider is always recommended before use of any new food including Baby’s Only Organic® Dairy with DHA Formula.
